I purchase this car about 7yrs ago. The battery always stays charged. However with a heavy load (lights and cooling fan on), the voltage will drop below 12 at lower rpm.
I am not certain that the wire diagram in the link is correct for my setup. If it is correct and my alternator is not wired correctly, would it charge? I'm confused! |
i think your fine, one of the wires is not supposed to be connected.
if you have an ammeter it will just be hanging there. Ford service manual picture below
